Malaysia wants Interpol to help track down U.S. comedian Jocelyn Chia over her joke about disappearance of flight MH370
Malaysian police said they asked Interpol on Wednesday to help track down a U.S. comedian after she made a joke about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 — a request the comedian called "ridiculous." Jocelyn Chia told the joke during a set at the Comedy Cellar in New York City, reportedly in April, as she riffed on the historically testy relationship between Malaysia and Singapore, where she was raised. MH370 went missing in March 2014, and is one of Malaysia's deadliest aviation incidents, with all 239 people on board presumed dead. Such was the outrage over Chia's joke that Malaysian police began an investigation under incitement and offensive online content laws. On Tuesday Malaysia's police chief Acryl Sani Abdullah Sani said they would ask Interpol to help locate her, according to Malaysian news agency Bernama.
